Why Cobots?
Safety
Modern robots are moving out of their cages to work closer with human coworkers, opening new opportunities for flexible automation. ABB cobots enable fenceless installation, including a comprehensive safety functions toolbox with safe speed, safe force and safe position.
Ease of use
ABB Robotics cobots are designed for simplicity from day one. GoFa™ offers hand-guided movement and the Easy Teach Device so non-experts can program welding sequences effortlessly. PoWa™ features intuitive controls and programmable buttons on the arm, making operation straightforward with quick setup and plug-and-play tool connectivity to get up and running fast.
Flexibility
ABB cobots adapt to a wide variety of welding applications, compact, easy to move, and quick to reprogram. GoFa™ excels in high-mix, low-volume environments. PoWa™ extends that flexibility further with payload options from 7 to 32 kg* and up to 19% longer reach, enabling increased flexibility across inspection and arc-welding applications.
